Yep, you read the title right. Two of the world’s foremost MTT players team up for an analysis packed replayer vid from the 2010 WCOOP Main Event. With Timex clicking “shove” and Mement_Mori offering his expert analysis, this is a can’t miss video for all MTT hopefuls. It may only be the first week of December, but this is a real Christmas present. Also available for iPod download.
Here is some of the discussion in the video’s thread:
Although in a normal tournament, average stack might be 20x starting stack 250 hands in, average stack at this point was still under 30000 due to it being so well structured. You are definitely viewing poker in the wrong way… I’m sure you’ve heard the analogy about poker being similar to playing chess for $1 and flipping a coin for $10, and over the short run the effects of the coin flip seem to dwarf the effects of the chess matches, but over the long run the better chess player just earns $1/game and the coin flips are inconsequential.
In poker, 250 hand breakeven stretches happen to all of us(I actually ran at 6bb/100 during these 250 hands) and although I won chips because of having a hand against a hand, you need to view poker from the perspective of playing hands better than your opponents do, rather than about getting dealt better hands than your opponents do. If our roles were switched and he had AA in the BB, I had TT in the SB he’d have never stacked me despite the fact that with his image he should be getting paid off substantially more than I should with my image.
I’m not saying that my expert play is what got me deep in this tournament, I’m saying that by playing well you give yourself the best opportunity possible to go deep in the tournament in the event that things do go your way.
